Securities/Capital Markets Associate Opportunity in New York City, NY - Up to $250K

Drive IPOs and Private Placements in a Hands-On Boutique Arena
:
At this NYC midsize firm, securities associates lead $50M+ offerings for emerging tech and financial clients, closing 12+ deals last year with zero billable mandates—unlike Big Law's quota-crushed chaos, delivering personalized client care since 1927.

• Recruiting for a midsize NYC corporate and securities boutique (50+ attorneys, Super Lawyers-recognized for sophisticated transactions).
• Seeking Securities/Capital Markets Associates with experience in IPOs, private placements, or securities filings.
• Hybrid Lexington Avenue office (4 days in-office to start, Fridays optional; 3-4 days initial for integration), focusing on $50M-$150M public/private offerings, M&A-tied securities, and compliance for national/international clients.
• Compensation
  : $250K base (5-10 years level) + bonuses for deal flow.
• Deal Impact
  : 12+ offerings executed in 2024, including private placements for fintech startups—sourced from firm client successes and market filings.
• Direct Client Ownership
  :
  Step into "face of the firm" roles from day one, drafting agreements and advising C-suites in relaxed, collaborative teams (partner + 1-2 associates), fostering 90% repeat business through cost-effective, tailored service.
• Rapid Lateral Acceleration
  :
  Flexible path to counsel/partner (e.g., litigators elevated in 2-3 years), with in-person training for independent mastery in forms, SEC sources, and general corporate tie-ins like shareholder agreements.
• Partner Track
  :
  Typically 8 years from law school, but accelerated for laterals (30% elevation rate above 20% norm).
• Work-Life
  :
  No strict billables (150-200 hours/month workload-driven), hybrid for NYC vibe without overload.
• Benefits
  :
  Comprehensive healthcare, 401(k) with matching, generous PTO (15+ days + federal holidays).

• Draft and review SEC registration statements, including Form S-1 and Form S-3, for public offerings of equity and debt securities in compliance with federal securities laws.
• Advise issuers and underwriters on disclosure requirements under the Securities Act of 1933, ensuring accurate financial reporting and risk factor identification in prospectus filings.
• Negotiate engagement letters, underwriting agreements, and indemnification provisions for capital markets transactions, including IPOs and follow-on offerings.
• Conduct due diligence reviews for securities offerings, analyzing material contracts, litigation risks, and regulatory compliance to support offering documents.
• Prepare comfort letters, legal opinions, and blue sky filings to facilitate the closing of securities transactions in New York markets.
